OMODA E5: Wiper judder or noise; check the glass coating and blade contamination
Symptoms
- The wipers judder, make abnormal noise or wipe poorly during operation. [1]
Possible causes
- The manual explains that gradual loss of the hydrophobic coating can cause uneven friction, judder and abnormal noise; grease/silicone/fuel may also affect blade rubber operation. [1]
Checks
- Check the glass coating, solid dirt and roughness of the blade rubber; do not wipe dry glass or use the wipers to remove frost, ice or hardened dirt. [1]
What to do
- Clean the glass and blade rubber as instructed in the manual, and inspect using the actual vehicle's maintenance mode; do not directly equate abnormal noise with motor damage before damage is confirmed. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Only applies to the OMODA E5 configuration in the source; model year unconfirmed; the vehicle model database is empty and no model is linked. Do not extend to other models. Scope: unknown [1]
